Esox_Magnum Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 You guys who do this for a living I'm hopeing someone can help me out. I'm in need of a new trim switch for 1991 merc controls, the little red button on the shifter. Mine dont work and would like to replace it and local shop claims it's not a part avalible. Anyone have an old set of controls laying out back let me know, getting old with the jerry rigged toggle switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

delmuts Posted April 17, 2011 Share Posted April 17, 2011 I had to have mine replaced last fall! I ended up calling a dealer(that handles the same motor brand) They needed numbers off both sides of the motor mount so they could order me a new one. Took a couple of weeks, but they got it in and i had them replace it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Esox_Magnum Posted April 23, 2011 Author Share Posted April 23, 2011 Best part of it was I had both the parts lady and the owner check on it for me, let's just say I have lost faith in my local guy... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goose89 Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Good to hear, Esox. I love good service and stories proving it's still out there. It's harder and harder to find, it seems....my new boat came from and is serviced from a dealer/service center nearly 2 hours away from me. Hassle, and bit more gas money, but it's worth it when "service" is what they primarily sell, rather than boats and motors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
